  • I can't pass calculus?

    I don't know what else to do. I am pre-med student and every class I had ever taken, no matter how difficult I had been able to study and improve. I am close to graduating and my GPA is going to bomb if I get a C or fail my calculus class. I am usually an A or B student but in calculus I have failed all of my tests with a 50 or below. I just can't understand it, I try and try again and nothing. I study more than 12 hours a day during the weekends since my tests are on mondays and that doesn't even work. I practice, I read but when I get to the test I just can't take those methods directly out of my mind or know when to apply them, sure it's easy if I have my book with me or just did several problems a minute ago, but in the test not a chance. I am completely lost. I don't know what to do, no matter how much I study, how much I read or how much I practice I cannot understand a thing about calculus I don't know what to do. I feel like a failure, can someone think of something that I can do? I am desperate

  • How to get from skinny to ripped?

    To sum things up, I am 132 lbs and 5' 10" I am really skinny and I have a high metabolism. I want to build lean muscle. Not like those over-bulky guys. I have looked into pretty much everything, P90X, Insanity, and other programs. I am just completely lost, everyone seems to have a different opinion. How can I be 170 pounds with lean muscle? How many calories should I heat? What kind of exercise program should I follow? What can I expect for my gains?

    I just want any help I can get, I am desperate at this point. Nothing ever seems to work for me. Thanks.

  • How can I upgrade my graphics card?

    I want to upgrade my desktop's graphics card for gaming. I don't know how to do it and that really isn't the problem since I can ask someone to do it for me, my problem is mainly that I don't know what else am I supposed to. If I upgrade the graphics card, am I supposed to upgrade my power supply? How about my cooling? I have no idea.

    Also, could any one you recommend me an excellent graphics card to upgrade to? My current one is an AMD Radeon HD 6570

  • What are the best MCAT preparation books?

    For a very long time I have been reading reviews over reviews of the best MCAT preparation books. Unfortunately every single review I read says something different, some say examkrackers, some say Princeton, some say Berkeley, I honestly don't know what to pick.

    I need a set of books that teaches me the stuff I don't know. I actually have a very weak science background since some of the professors I had weren't that good so I NEED a book that teaches me as well as prepare me for the MCAT not just give me shortcuts because they will be useless without a grasp of the concept. Which books would be the best for this? And should I get the comprehensive book that is a single book for the entire MCAT or should I get each individual Subject review? Please help me with this. I don't care if the book will take me a long time to get through because I have some extra time before the MCAT but I need to start NOW if I want to be ready to take it when I'm supposed to. Any help is appreciated and if you can please give any experiences you had with the material.

  • What is this game called?

    Long ago when I was a little kid I used to play a game on my aunt's computer, I've been trying to find the game again for so long but I don't know the name of the game, hopefully anyone can help me with this. The game is about some kind of martial artist at the top of a mountain which blocks meteorites and after a while he upgrades to a higher level of belt, they change colors. I think the final belt is a rainbow colored one. Any ideas?

  • Is my girlfriend pregnant?

    My girlfriend had started taking the pill for 2 days before we had unprotected sex, I didn't finished inside since I pulled out before I came, but I've hear that sometimes the pre-ejaculation can carry sperm with it. However, we still felt worried about that she could be pregnant and the next day she decided to start taking the yellow pill to try and get her period and we could make sure. It has been 5 days since she started taking the yellow pill and still no period, could she be pregnant?? Also, is there any tests she could take to find out??

  • Movies about beliefs on religion?

    Has anyone else ever thought that it's kind of unfair that whenever a movie that deals with a different concept of religion, or even about the absence of it comes out, religious people always make a big deal about it and try to ban it?? But whenever a movie dealing with the belief of their religion comes out, no one ever complains about it (not too many in comparison), not even the people who don't believe in it because they respect their beliefs, and yet it's mostly the religious people who most constantly tell about tolerance and respect to others when it's them the main group who oppress other's beliefs. I don't understand why. I mean, instead of trying to ban it for every single other person who actually wants to watch the movie, why don't they simply don't watch it and that's it?? I mean It's just a movie.
